§61 梵天弟子造物因喻
(61) brahma's disciple can create all things
婆罗门众皆言:“大梵天王是世间父,能造万物,造万物主者。”有弟子言:“我亦能造万物。”实是愚痴,自谓有智,语梵天言:“我欲造万物。”
brahmans say that the great brahma was both father of the world and creator of all things. one of the great brahma's disciples once said he also had the power to create things. he was too stupid to be wise. to the great brahma, he said, "i can create everything."
梵天王语言:“莫作此意。汝不能造。”不用天语,便欲造物。
the great brahrna replied, "don't talk like that. you can't. since you don't listen to me, i wonder how you do it."
梵天见其弟子所造之物,即语之言:“汝作头太大,作项极小;作手太大,作臂极小;作脚极小,作踵极大;如似譬毗舍阇鬼。”
after seeing what his disciple had creased, the great brahma said, "the man's head that you have made is too big and the neck too thin. the hands are too long and the arms too bony. the feet are too small and the legs too fat. it looks like a pisacah devil."
